c. April depreciation expense, $ 300

f. March 31 owners’ equity, $ 93,200
g. March 31 cash balance, $ 40,500

Requirements
1. Prepare the budgeted balance sheet for Akron Medical Supply at April 30. Show separate computations for cash, inventory, and stockholders’ equity balances.
2. Prepare the combined cash budget for April.
3. Suppose Akron Medical Supply has become aware of more efficient (and more ex-pensive) equipment than it budgeted for purchase in April. What is the total amount of cash available for equipment purchases in April, before financing, if the minimum desired ending cash balance is $ 13,000? (For this requirement, disregard the $ 42,700 initially budgeted for equipment purchases.)
4. Before granting a loan to Akron Medical Supply, First National Bank asks for a sensitivity analysis assuming that April sales are only $ 58,000 rather than the $ 87,000 originally budgeted. (While the cost of goods sold will change, assume that purchases, depreciation, and the other operating expenses will remain the same as in the earlier requirements.)
a. Prepare a revised budgeted balance sheet for the company, showing separate computations for cash, inventory, and stockholders’ equity balances.
b. Suppose Akron Medical Supply has a minimum desired cash balance of $ 17,000. Will the company need to borrow cash in April?
c. In this sensitivity analysis, sales declined by 33 1/ 3% ($ 29,000/$ 87,000). Is the ­decline in expenses and income more or less than 33 1/ 3%? Explain.
